Problem

A car travels 100 m100\,\text{m} east in 10 s10\,\text{s} and then immediately returns 100 m100\,\text{m} west along the same straight road in the next 10 s10\,\text{s}. Which statement about its motion during the entire 20 s20\,\text{s} interval is correct? a) Both the average speed and the average velocity are 0 m/s0\,\text{m/s}. b) Both the average speed and the average velocity are 10 m/s10\,\text{m/s}. c) The average speed is 10 m/s10\,\text{m/s} and the average velocity is 0 m/s0\,\text{m/s}. d) The average speed is 20 m/s20\,\text{m/s} and the average velocity is 0 m/s0\,\text{m/s}.
